Chapter 238

After making enough mental preparations for himself, Andrew finally decided to visit the mysterious and powerful bookstore owner.

Although he knew that he had to come and visit this trip.

However, as the vice president of the Truth Society, who once adopted a hostile attitude towards the bookstore, and implemented impure countermeasures against the bookstore several times in a row, and even provoked fringe actions.

If Andrew said in his heart that he was not apprehensive or worried, he would be lying.

Whenever he thought of his past actions, he would break out in a cold sweat from fright.

With the strength shown so far by the owner of the bookstore named Lin Jie, wanting him to die is just a matter of thought.

Even though he now generally knows that his previous impulsive and reckless actions were actually controlled and bewitched by some means of Jerome.

——Andrew felt that it was because of this that Lin Jie never cared about his repeated offenses, because all of this was done under the influence of his spirit, not his own will.

But before he had a direct conversation with the owner of the bookstore, these were all his own guesses.

What if people just temporarily forget about you as a "little character" and plan to settle accounts after the fall?

Wouldn't it be courting death to take the initiative to get together at this time?

But Andrew had no choice.

No matter how entangled and hesitant he is in his heart, now he has almost no real power, and the issuance of any order has to go through layers of audits, which is greatly suppressed.

And as long as Jerome, the inner ghost, is around, he can use his own spirit-affecting potion to control some people, and he can easily block all of Andrew's plans.

Andrew suspected that Diamond—that is, another vice president at the same level as him—was also affected. After all, Jerome's ambition was not small.

The people behind him gave him great confidence, making it possible for him to control the Truth Society...

But President Maria was not around at this time.

In short, if he wants to break the situation, the only way now is to find this magical bookstore owner.

However, he did not expect that after meeting the owner of the bookstore who was regarded as a life-saving straw, the first sentence he heard was "Which one is your Excellency"...

Andrew fell into silence.

His first thought was "It's over."

Then my heart skipped a beat, and my thoughts raced: "He has the title of 'all-knowing and omnipotent'. If he forgot about me before I came, it can still be justified. Now that I am in front of him, he doesn't know who I am, he just opened his eyes and said. nonsense."

"So there is only one possibility for him to look like he doesn't know me, and that is that he is completely pretending!"

"And there seems to be only one reason why he did it—"

"He's not going to accept my apology!"

Andrew's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Is my guess wrong? It's not that he doesn't care about me or he doesn't plan to care about it because he knows the reason, but he just wants to stand by at this time and not give help... just wants to see me in this predicament Is it the misery of struggling?"

He couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, feeling hopeless: "It's really a bad taste unique to high-ranking people..."

"but not!"

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Andrew's mind: "He just said welcome, but didn't turn me away. What does that mean? It means that he regards me as a customer!"

"Think about it another way. He refused to accept my apology. Could it be that he thinks that I don't need to apologize, because what happened before was Jerome's fault, not my own fault..."

"Let me simply talk as a guest entering the bookstore for the first time, this is giving me a chance to start over!"

"And now...he is still observing, he must want to see if my sincerity is enough, hahaha, fortunately, I have fully investigated before, and I am well prepared!"

The blaze of hope reappeared in front of Andrew, and he turned from sadness to joy, then suddenly raised his head in a daze.

"Wait...he doesn't know what I'm thinking right now?"

"Wouldn't that be as funny as running naked..."

Andrew's face was almost constipated, and his expression fluctuated for a long time. The more he looked at Lin Jie's half-smile expression, the more he felt that his heart was completely controlled by the other party.

His calculations are as ridiculous as a clown, and his strength is even weaker.

Andrew felt more and more that he was hopelessly stupid back then.

Lin Jie looked at the guest who had been silent for a long time, and slowly asked a question: "?"

Why is this guest so strange...

He didn't look like he wanted to buy a book when he came up, so he first apologized inexplicably, and then he stayed where he was struggling for a long time.

He obviously looks like a dog, but judging from Lin Jie's experience, he is probably still an old scumbag, why now he shows that he is the one who was abandoned and caused a mental breakdown.

And Lin Jie always felt that the way this guy looked at him just now seemed to see the dean.

And he was the student who was caught playing with his mobile phone in class.

And he was surfing on a website starting with the word p, and was executed in public.

Although this metaphor is a bit strange, Lin Jie really felt that subtle feeling of shame and indignation...

"guest?"

Lin Jie coughed twice, decided to break the embarrassing situation first, and said politely: "Excuse me, what exactly are you talking about? If it has nothing to do with me, then I won't admit it."

Andrew had already calmed down at this time, his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then his expression was solemn.

This question...is a test!

The owner of the bookstore really knew what was going on in his heart and sensed his sincerity, so he gave him another chance to apologize and confess.

If he could be forgiven successfully, it would be logical to get closer to the owner of the bookstore.

The condition of this question is something related to the owner of the bookstore.

And the only direct contact with the owner of the bookstore with malice under Jerome's plot was to let those "knowledge-only" scholars come to the bookstore to "throw the ground"!

Andrew said cautiously: "Do you remember Hood and the others?"

Lin Jie was taken aback, recalled it for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Those bastards who broke into my bookstore in the middle of the night to steal things, why... Are you their parent? Are you here to apologize for this?"

He really almost forgot about those guys. It would be correct if he apologized for this matter.

"Is such that."

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the first test, and continued: "I am the vice president of the Truth Society. In theory, I am their boss. Hood's aunt is Maria Society So it’s not wrong to say that I am their parent.”

Lin Jie nodded, expressing his understanding.

Seeing Lin Jie nodding, Andrew was so moved that he was about to cry. He took a deep breath, took out a small silver box with enamel decoration from his pocket, and put it on the table.

"This is a gift I prepared for you, I hope you can forgive..."

He opened the silver box carefully, and what slowly unfolded inside was a small mechanical device shaped like a clock.
